Dogs love their stuffed animals. They become very attached and are like the best of friends. Going everywhere together. Well, that's how it was for Hank the dog and his best friend, his purple stuffed animal named Fuzzy Purple Hippo. But now the animal shelter in Wisconsin has a case to settle… you see, they had found Fuzzy Purple Hippo torn to pieces! Alleged, it was Hank that (literally) tore their relationship apart. But when the staff at the animal shelter tried to question Hank on the incident, He just remained well, tightlipped. Not even a peep! The animal shelter decided they had to get to the bottom of this! They even had updates via their Instagram page for others to tune into the ongoing investigations…

Happier Days

Found: Fuzzy Purple Hippo

UPDATE: The Fuzzy Purple Hippo, bonded with Hank, who we told you about last week has had a medical emergency. Dr. Laura is currently performing life-saving surgery to repair the near-decapitation. Details of the incident which caused the injury are murky, as Hank is refusing to answer our questions. (Yes, we have tried sternly asking, "what did you DO??" but he only looks away with a guilty look on his face.) Please keep the Fuzzy Purple Hippo in your thoughts. We will continue to keep you updated.
